YouTube handles allow community members to find and connect with other users more easily.
Over the next few weeks, Google YouTube will gradually roll out the ability to choose a handle for all channels. Your handle is unique to your channel and is used to mention you in comments, Community tab posts, and more.
YouTube Handles
Users will receive another email (following the initial announcement) and a notification in YouTube Studio when you can choose your handle. In most cases, if you already have a custom URL for your channel, it will be assigned to you as your handle. If you want a different handle than the one assigned, you can change it. If you don’t currently have a custom URL, you can still choose a handle for your channel.
Starting November 14, 2022, if you haven’t selected a handle for your channel yet, YouTube will automatically assign one to you. You can change the assigned handle in YouTube Studio if you wish.
What is a Handle
A YouTube handle is a new way for viewers to find your channel and interact with you. Unlike channel names, handles are unique to each creator, making it easier to establish a distinct presence on YouTube.
Handles and URLs
Pubblicato in Social MediaYour new handle will be included in your channel URL. In most cases, your custom URL will become your handle. You can use your handle to direct users to your channel, even when they are not on YouTube. For example, if your handle is @user123, your channel URL will be https://youtube.com/@user123. Existing channel URLs will continue to work.
